Definitions
- the invention relates to a use of a thermophilic, anaerobic, acetogenic, hydrogen-producing bacterium for increasing biogas production of thermophilic anaerobe systems wherein the biogas fermentation system is inoculated with a microorganism culture.
- the microorganism is selected to increase the production of an intermedier facilitating the process and/or expedite decomposition of the substrate, thereby promote microbial events resulting in biogas production.
- methane-rich biogas is formed when organic material from various sources is decomposed under anaerobic conditions.
- Numerous microbial strains participate in the process, these strains can be divided into three major groups.
- the first group include polymer-degrading bacteria; they hydrolyze large biomolecules and convert them into smaller molecules. These intermediates constitute the foodstuff for the acetogens, which produce organic acids, for example acetate, propionate, and butyrate. In certain cases the acetogens also produce hydrogen as a byproduct of their metabolism.
- the third group of microbes participating in biogas formation is called the group of methanogens.
- biogas i.e., methane and carbon dioxide.
- the microbes taking part in the degradation of organic material and in the generation of biogas depend on each others' metabolic activity: they form a consortium when functioning properly.
- Patent EP 0 263 796 A specific difficulty identified in Patent EP 0 263 796 is the different optimal temperature requirement for the hydrolytic and acetogenic steps (above 37°C) and for methanogenesis (below 37°C).
- thermophilic systems may be increased by the supply of in situ produced hydrogen using a hydrogen producer bacterium.
- thermophilic biogas production consortia As the microbiological composition of the thermophilic biogas production consortia is completely different from the mesophilic counterpart, due to the huge difference in the operational temperature, conclusions based on findings for mesophilic systems can not extended to thermophilic biogas production. Therefore, our understanding of the mesophilic process cannot be extrapolated to the thermophilic technology.
- thermophilic and mesophilic anaerobic digestion carried out a comparative study of thermophilic and mesophilic anaerobic digestion in order to evaluate various reactor configurations.
- the authors used a thermophilic anaerobic sludge culture obtained from an anaerobic sludge digester to start fermentation. This is a well established method used by the present inventors as well as many others to shorten the start-up period of reactors. Such an inoculating culture is spontaneously formed and its composition is undefined.
- Kim et al concluded that "Two phase digestion at both temperatures did not show any significant benefit".
- Kim et al. described their results with a model in which the microorganisms in a consortium are in a close proximity to each other.
- Kim et al. also mentioned, as a hypothesis, that H2 concentration should be in a very narrow range, i.e. between 10 -4 to 10 -6 at to achieve sufficient conversion of propionate to acetate/H2 and in turn H2 conversion to methane and mention that "this is a severe limitation" (page 4370, paragraph bridging col 1 and col 2).
- Kim et al. do not suggest any simple and effective tool to improve biogas production of these fermentors.
- thermophilic anaerobic systems are particularly vulnerable and are usually less stable from a microbiological point of view.
- the metabolic equilibrium may shift significantly due to the accumulation of organic acids, and biogas production may stop. If this operational disaster takes place the fermenter has to be emptied and restarted using fresh organic substrate and the development of the proper microbial consortium usually takes a significant amount of time, sometimes even months.
- thermophilic biogas production systems that may use various organic materials and wastes as substrate. It is of particular importance to have efficient, one-reactor systems in the thermophilic temperature range for the economically feasible biogas production.
- the new process to be proposed is aimed to serve this goal by advising an environmentally friendly, efficient technology that allows large scale implementation.
- thermophilic biogas production technologies can be increased by adding a suitable hydrogen producing thermophilic microbial culture to the already existing natural biogas production consortium.
- the microbial activity of methane producers can be augmented this way in the thermophilic consortium, by supplying sufficient reducing power and substrate for biological methane production.
- An additional advantage can be employed if we use a hydrogen producer strain that contributes to the better utilization of the organic substrate, e.g., by its capability to hydrolyze biopolymers.
- the anaerobic biogas production can be intensified via a relatively simple biotechnological method. This improves the economical feasibility of the overall system when wastes and side products generated in food processing and agricultural activities are converted to biogas in an anaerobic treatment technology.
- thermophilic system proved to be useful in a wide variety of applications using biomass from many sources. This indicates that the various thermophilic microbial consortia are similar in at least one aspect, i.e., in situ hydrogen production is a crucially important beneficial step in all thermophilic systems investigated so far.
- Caldicellulosiruptor saccharolyticus is a particularly suitable microorganism to bring about the desired advantageous effect.
- the invention relates to a use of a thermophilic, anaerobic, acetogenic, hydrogen-producing bacterium for increasing methane production in a biomass fermenting system, wherein biomass is fermented under anaerobic and thermophilic conditions by a consortium comprising polymer degrading microorganisms, acetogenic microorganisms and methanogenic microorganisms.
- the invention relates to a use for increasing biogas production by fermenting biomass under anaerobic and thermophilic conditions, by using a consortium comprising polymer degrading microorganisms, acetogenic microorganisms and methanogenic microorganisms, wherein before starting biogas production or during biogas production a culture of the thermophilic, hydrogen producing microorganism is added, at least once, to the biogas producing consortium.
- the consortium further comprises a polymer degrading microorganism and/or before the start of biogas production or during biogas production a polymer degrading microorganism is added, at least once, to the consortium.

- an acetogenic bacterium which is capable of working under thermophilic and anaerobic condition, and which is a hydrogen producer.
- the bacterium used in the invention has a polymer degrading, preferably a carbohydrate (polysaccharide) degrading activity.
- additives can be used.
- the additives may be e.g. nutrients or foodstuffs for the microorganisms or bacteria, e.g. various organic compounds or mixture thereof. Certain compounds, e.g. sugar may result in a substrate inhibition; therefore, experiments should be carried out to determine the useful quantity.
- Materials of large surface area e.g. wood chips, can be applied as well, and in preferred embodiments the cells can be bound to carriers (immobilized to), e.g. rhyolitic tuff.
- the biomass can be any material.
- the biomass can be any material.
- the biomass can be any material.
- sedimented or pelleted e.g. by centrifuge
- immobilized cells e.g. cells immobilized to e.g. rhyolitic tuff or perlite
- Biomass means the organic material of living or non-living organisms (i.e., of microbial, plant or animal origin) and the byproducts of any industrial processing that use these materials as well as the organic fraction of biological origin produced in agricultural activities and human sess.
- the biomass or its fraction can be converted using fermentation.
- a "microbial consortium” means a population of several microbial species, involving at least two independent strains or species, where at least one metabolic product of one species is utilized by an other one, i.e. the microorganisms cooperate or act together.
- Thermophilic conditions mean an environment that is suitable for microbial growth and has a minimum temperature of 40°C, preferably of 45°C, and more preferably of 45-75°C or at least 50°C, highly preferably or 50-60°C.
- acetogenic bacterium is a microbe that produces small organic acids as one of the end products of its fermentation, e.g., acetate, propionate, or butyrate, from the degradation products of biopolymers such as polysaccharides or proteins.
- a "hydrogen producing" acetogenic bacterium is capable of converting substrate molecules of biopolymer origin (e.g. polysaccharides, proteins) to hydrogen gas.
- the acetogenic and hydrogen producing acetogenic bacteria to be used in the patented process act preferably but not exclusively as part of a microbial consortium.
- the invention relates to a use of a thermophilic, anaerobic, acetogenic, hydrogen-producing bacterium for increasing methane production in a biomass fermenting system.
- An essential element of the use of the invention is the inoculation of the biogas producing system by an appropriate microorganism culture, wherein said biogas producing system operates at thermophilic temperatures by anaerobe fermentation.
- the inoculation can be used both during the start-up period of a biogas fermenter and during the operational period of an already established biogas fermenting system.
- the microbe should be a hydrogen producing, thermophilic (growing at 45-70°C preferentially between 50-60°C), anaerobic microorganism. Preferably, it should be an acetogenic bacterium.
- the biological activity of the selected microorganism should facilitate the microbiological events leading to biogas production, e.g., through the generation of intermediers suitable for increased biogas yield or through a more thorough fermentation of the original organic substrate.
- the microorganism fulfils both of these requirements.
- the appropriate bacterium may be selected by e.g. the following approach:
- any newly isolated thermophilic, polymer degrading strain can be tested.
- the polymer degrading capability is demonstrated by growing the bacteria on the particular polymer (oligo or polysaccharides) as a sole carbon source. Those that can grow on the particular carbon source will be capable of its metabolism. Tests should be carried out under anaerobic (anoxic), thermophilic conditions, at nearly neutral pH. If the selected microbe can grow in a biogas forming consortium, it may contribute to the intensification of biogas production.
- the hydrogen evolving activity of the isolated strain should be checked.
- the selected or isolated strain is tested for its polymer degrading activity. This can be e.g. the degradation of proteins and/or polysaccharides.
- thermophilic, polymer degrading, protein degrading or carbohydrate degrading microorganisms for an acetogenic bacterium strain of increased hydrogen producing activity.
- strain(s) selected according the above-mentioned procedures will most likely be suitable to be used in the invention, model experiments are advisably needed before large scale application to see if the selected strain can indeed fit into the thermophilic biogas producing consortium.
- thermophilic consortium In these laboratory scale experiments the selected strain(s) are tested for their ability to adapt to the thermophilic consortium. Biogas production is modeled such a way that before the start of the fermentation or during the developed process the separately cultivated bacteria are added and biogas production is monitored together. The control experiment is identical in every aspect except that the intensifying bacterium is not added to the system.
- composition is determined.
- inoculum is Caldicellulosiruptor saccharolyticus and preferably the strain DSM 8903. This strain and other strains possessing similar properties can be used for the intensification of biogas production.
- the size of the inoculum is usually 5-10% of the total fermenter volume if a growing culture is used.
- the biomass substrate is filled into the fermenter and biogas production is started using any of the known procedures and a biogas production system using natural consortia of microorganisms is developed.
- the biogas producing fermenter is inoculated with the cultivated monoculture of the selected bacterium, e.g., Caldicellulosiruptor saccharolyticus. If necessary the inoculation is repeated as the fermentation progresses.
- a minimum requirement is to maintain the system at the appropriate temperature and under anaerobic conditions.
- the anaerobic degradation of most biomass sources develops spontaneously although the start-up phase may need considerable time in certain cases.
- the appropriate pH which is usually near neutral, should be maintained when some biomass sources are fermented, e.g., biomass of plant origin; in other cases (e.g., waste water sludge, animal manure) the pH becomes stable without adding any buffering substance.
- the start-up phase can be shortened by using inocula for example from an anaerobic waste water sludge treatment facility.
- Inocula can be obtained from any thermophilic anaerobic digester or can be prepared separately by using animal manure or waste water sludge and incubating it under anaerobic conditions at thermophilic temperature and incubating it until fermentation starts.
- thermophilic temperature by slowly elevating the temperature.
- the preferred experimental vessel is a single space anaerobic fermenter capable of continuous or semi-continuous operational modes.
- the biogas produced is transferred from time to time or, preferably, continuously and used for energy production. Biogas can be utilized near the site of its production.
- the hydrogen evolving activity of the selected strain(s) can be tested using the following method:
- strains degrading polysaccharides are screened.
- An example of how this can be tested is the following:
- Protein degradation activity is also determined by using a spectrophotometer.
- the supernatant of the precultivated bacterium strain is added to the protein sample and the pH is adjusted to 7.0 with phosphate buffer. Absorbance of the sample is measured at 280 nm. A decrease in absorbance indicates protein degradation activity.
- Both strains were stored in a frozen state at -70°C, they were cultivated in the specified respective DSM media, i.e., DSM-1 for Enterobacter and DSM 640 for Caldicellulosiruptor. Inocula were routinely cultivated in 150 ml sterile glass vessels under oxygen free nitrogen gas to ensure the anaerobic environment.
- Pig slurry was used in this preliminary experiment.
- the slurry substrate was dispensed in 50 ml aliquots into glass vessels of 100 ml volume and sealed air tight. Some of the vessels were inoculated with 5ml of pure culture of Caldicellulosiruptor saccharolyticus.
- the headspace was replaced with nitrogen gas. Incubation was carried out at 55°C. A gas sample was removed anaerobically from the head space every day and the gas was subjected to qualitative and quantitative analysis. The results are presented in Fig. 1 .
- the x axis of the graph indicates days after the start of the experiment, the y axis shows the amount of the biogas in GC units.
- the inoculated ones clearly display that methane production starts faster and the overall biogas generation produces more gas than in the controls.
- the basic substrate for biogas production was pig slurry again, but it is treated in 50 liter fermenters and additives were tested for their ability to augment biogas production.
- the additives examined were waste water sludge, sugar (saccharose) and wood chips.
- Waste water activated sludge contains mostly microorganisms and some undigested organic material, sugar is a preferred carbon source for most microbes and wood chip increased the surface available for the microbes.
- Figure 2 demonstrates that in the presence of Caldicellulosiruptor saccharolyticus biogas production started very quickly and the overall gas production volume clearly exceeds that of the control. When sugar was added to the system, substrate inhibition was observed.
- the dried biomass was used at various concentrations, in 1-10VN% range.
- the tests were carried out in sealed glass vessels of 100 ml volume.
- the experiments aimed to determine the intensification conditions using centrifuged bacteria ( Fig. 3 ) and the same bacteria immobilized on rhyolitic tuff (perlite) ( Fig. 4 ).
- biogas production can be intensified even when the substrate is predominantly a low biogas yield, cellulose rich material, i.e. an energy grass. It has also been concluded that concentration of the bacteria by centrifugation and even more advantageously through immobilization on a cheap mineral carrier material may further improve biogas production.
- concentration of the bacteria by centrifugation and even more advantageously through immobilization on a cheap mineral carrier material may further improve biogas production.
- Several high specific surface carrier material can be used for immobilization of the hydrogen producing bacteria; perlite, a low cost and abundant material, is just one of them.
- Fig. 5 shows the daily methane production, measured at taking aliquot samples.
- the numbers indicate the cumulative biogas production measured in the head space of the glass vessels. The value obtained on the 14 th day was considered 100% for comparisons.
- methane production starts on the 7 th or 8 th day.
- the vessels were incubated at 55°C, which was significantly higher than the initial temperature of the biomass. It is conceivable that the microbes present in the slurry had to adopt themselves to the thermophilic conditions and it took time to develop a stable thermophilic consortium. This explains why biogas production started only after an extended period of time (day 7 or 8); actually by this time methanogens, initiating an intensive methane production, were grown up.
- Fig. 6 shows the volume of accumulated biogas in the vessels, day by day. The experiment was terminated on day 14 and the total amount generated by this time was considered as 100%. Intensive methane formation was observed from day 5 or 6 and biogas production decreased after day 12. The experiment demonstrated that waste water sludge is a suitable substrate for biogas production.
- Fig. 8 shows the comparison of the cumulative biogas productions using these various substrates.
- Jerusalem artichoke is a particularly suitable source of biomass for biogas production. This plant can be cultivated using cheap technology and produces high concentration of biomass. It is also concluded that the process described here can be useful with other energy plants as well.
- Examples 3-5 we have demonstrated that biogas production can be intensified as a result of the addition of a suitably selected bacterium (which was C. saccharolyticus in these examples but it could be an other strain as well), and there is a direct cause-effect relationship accompanying the addition of the bacteria in various forms.
- a suitably selected bacterium which was C. saccharolyticus in these examples but it could be an other strain as well
- the substrates were used in 10-15 g quantity and the dry matter content was precisely determined. Then a suspension was prepared by the addition of water or buffer solution. The reaction volume was standardized so that each gram of dry matter was dispersed in 40 ml of water or aqueous solution, and the volume of the substrate was augmented accordingly. The final volume was thus around 400 ml in each experiment. When substrates of plant origin were studied, it was suspended routinely in phosphate buffer (pH7).
- Sealable glass vessels of 500 ml volume were used, immediately after filling in the substrate the vessels were sealed air-tight and the headspace was made anaerobic by flushing it with high purity nitrogen gas.
- the reaction vessels were connected to containers filled with saturated salt solution and the volume of the produced biogas was determined by measuring the amount of salt solution displaced by the biogas.
- the measured values were normalized to the gas volume at 30°C in order to make sure that the data do not contain systematic error due to the temperature dependence of gas expansion.
- the productivity values are expressed as biogas ml per 1 g of organic solid for direct comparison.
- the gas composition of biogas (e.g. methane and carbon-dioxide) was followed using a gas chromatograph (SRI 8610C) fitted with a PorapackQ column and thermal conductivity detector.
- the gas chromatograph was calibrated using standard methods and gas mixtures.
- the methane content of the biogas ranged between 50-60% in the experiments.
- Figures show the total biogas production.
- the hydrogen producing bacteria were separately cultivated as described in Example 1 and the fresh cultures were added to the vessels in 5-20v/v% (preferably in 10v/v%) concentration.
- Enterobacter cloacae DSM 3264 was used as mesophilic hydrogen producer at 30°C and Caldicellulosiruptor saccharolyticus DSM 8903 was employed as thermophilic hydrogen producer at 55°C.
- Controls were supplemented with equal volume of fresh media, without bacteria.
- Biogas formation was measured daily and plotted as seen in the figures. The cumulative biogas production was estimated after normalizing the gas volumes and adding up the partial values. The total generated biogas (normalized for 1 g organic solid and for 30°C temperature) was compared with the same numbers obtained with the controls and their ratio was defined as the degree of intensification.

- thermophilic anaerobic, hydrogen producer The beneficial effect of the addition of a thermophilic anaerobic, hydrogen producer has been demonstrated in a filed experiment.
- the fermenter was erected on a pig farm that has approximately 12000 pigs.
- the main unit of the set-up is the fermenter, which is a single reactor space, anaerobic fermenter having a total volume of 15 m 3 .
- the operational temperature was 55°C, this was maintained with the help of a built in heating coil in which hot water was circulated.
- the completely stirred fermenter was filled up with 6 m 3 of pig slurry.
- the fermenter works in a semi-continuous mode of operation, every day 10% of the fermenter volume is replaced with fresh substrate.
- a gas storage container hold the biogas and prevents potentially dangerous backflow of the gas and/or substrate.
- the biogas then passes through a water vapor removing device (cold finger) before it passes through a gas volume metering device that records the biogas production in a continuous manner. Gas samples are collected at this point in order to follow the changes in gas composition.
- a gas torch then bums the biogas for safety reasons, in order to avoid risk of explosion.
- the fermenter is air tight and thus establishes and maintains anaerobic conditions.
- the biogas generated at the beginning of the process replaces air above the liquid phase in the fermenter.
- anaerobicity can be established by purging the fermenter with nitrogen or carbon dioxide gases.
- the fermenter was almost completely filled with pig slurry, the volume of which was continuously lowered to a level of 6 m 3 .
- the invention brings about modifications in the anaerobic biomass treatment technologies, which increases the efficacy of already existing biogas plants and shortens the pay-out period of newly established ones by implementing a relatively simple process.
- the newly recognized advantageous properties of the participating microorganisms are exploited.
- the technology converts organic waste and byproducts of agriculture and the food production industry and communal organic waste in a closed process into biogas and biofertilizer. Az a result, the environmentally dangerous organic biomass, which is frequently considered as "waste" is recycled without the production of other pollutants.
- the products of the improved anaerobic treatment technology are useful for renewable energy carrier and as a fertilizer.
- the technology can be adopted to every known and currently used anaerobic biological treatment processes. It is particularly beneficial in animal farms dealing with at least 200 animals having a unit size of 500 kg each or equivalent smaller livestock.
- the technology gives excellent results with animal manure or sludge, solid, mixed or liquid other organic wastes, communal solid wastes, waste water sludge, and various agricultural and food industrial wastes.
